FROM WATAIN:
ALL THAT MAY BLEED" The first single for ”The Wild Hunt” will be released on Summer Solstice, June 21st."The name of the single will be ”ALL THAT MAY BLEED”."
”All that May Bleed shows but one facet of a quite diverse album, but we chose this song as a first glimpse into ”The Wild Hunt” because of its bombastic lunacy and white-eyed malevolence which could be said to constitute a main foundation for the album. The lyric is an invitation to sacrificial blood letting, ecstatic zealotry and human sacrifice. The salt of Satan in the wounds of Christ!”



Side B will be a track called ”Play with the Devil” originally recorded by the Black/Heavy Metal band Taiwaz in 1988, in Uppsala. Gottfrid Åhman from In Solitude participates on solo guitar in Watain’s version.
